Hello!

I would like to sell these two due to unexpected circumstance. 

The HS-EX3000 is the same as HS-JX3000 but was available in Japan. I think there is also a slight difference in the world tuner and world clock as well. The player/recorder is in excellent cosmetic condition and has been recently serviced by Plop so you know it is exemplary in terms of operation. All the capacitors have been replaced, belt replaced, mechanism cleaned and fine-tuned and the back-up battery was replaced as well. It comes with the original charger (120V), external 2AAA battery case and remote control. Unfortunately, no other accessories are included.

The HS-PL707 is in very good cosmetic condition but with no obvious flaws like scratches, let alone dents. Wear is visible on the buttons. It has a narow gap HX head, Dolby B, auto-reverse, 2-stage DSL and 3-stage BBE high definition sound processor. It comes with a leather carrying case and the external 2AAA battery case.

If you are interested, please send me a PM with your offer.

Cheers!

Antun
